The book is in good shape, but I can see that eventually because of age the pages will fall out. Even with the age I was so glad to get this new copy of this book, my old copy split in two and someone walked off with it. I like this version because it’s easy to understand and I can write in the margins.
This book is very accessible even thought written centuries ago. The spirit of St. Francis de Sales can be felt; you can "hear' him speaking. A very loving presentation.
